Public Sharing in Dashboards

Use public sharing when you want to make a dashboard available with a link outside the authenticated SigNoz UI.

Prerequisites

Public sharing is available on the Self-Hosted Enterprise plan and SigNoz Cloud.

• Plan: SigNoz Cloud, or a self-hosted instance with an active Enterprise license
• Role: Admin. Other roles cannot publish or manage public dashboards
• Version: SigNoz v0.104.0 or newer

Share a Link with Variable Selections

When you share a dashboard's page link with another SigNoz user, you can include your current variable selections so the recipient opens the dashboard with the same values already applied. This works with the authenticated Share page link dialog, not the public dashboard URLs described below.

1. Open a dashboard that has at least one variable defined.
2. Set the variable values you want to share using the variable selectors at the top of the dashboard.
3. Select the Share button in the dashboard header.
4. Turn on the Include variables toggle, then select Copy page link.

When the recipient opens the link, SigNoz applies your variable selections and keeps them for subsequent refreshes, then removes the encoded parameter from the URL so the address stays clean. See Manage Variables for how variable selections are stored.

Enable Public Sharing

1. From the sidebar, choose Dashboards and select the respective dashboard you want to share publicly.
2. Open the configuration drawer for that dashboard by clicking the Configure icon.
3. In the configuration drawer, select Publish.
4. To allow viewers to change the time range on the public dashboard, toggle the Enable time range option.
5. Choose the Default time range that the public dashboard should use.

6. Click the Publish Dashboard button to enable public sharing.
7. A publicly shareable link will be generated, which you can use to provide public access to the dashboard.

Auto-refresh for viewers

Public dashboard viewers can reload every panel on a fixed interval without logging in. The auto-refresh selector (a refresh icon with a dropdown) appears in the dashboard header, to the left of the time picker.

• Availability: The selector appears only when you turn on Enable time range on the Publish form. If the dashboard is locked to a fixed default time range, viewers see no auto-refresh control.
• Intervals: Viewers can choose Off, 5s, 10s, 30s, 1m, 5m, 10m, 30m, 1h, 2h, or 1d.
• Default is Off: Existing public dashboards keep their current behavior until a viewer picks an interval.
• Custom ranges: When a viewer switches the time picker to a custom fixed start and end time, the selector is disabled, matching the authenticated app.

On each tick, auto-refresh advances the rolling window from the selected relative range (for example, "Last 30 minutes") and refetches every panel.

Disable Public Sharing

1. From the sidebar, choose Dashboards and select the respective dashboard for which you want to revoke public access.
2. Open the configuration drawer for that dashboard by clicking the Configure icon.
3. Navigate to the dashboard configuration section and select Publish.
4. To disable public sharing for the dashboard, click the Unpublish dashboard button.
